Day 152 Exercise and the food plan

My coach always checks in about exercise as it's an essential part of her plan but we don't talk about it much because I have had a pretty solid exercise practice for more than 30 years, after I started jogging in my early 30s. I jogged and ran for about 15 years; then my knees and ankles weren't so happy with that any more. So I turned to walking and the treadmill and lifting weights and I've been faithful at that for a long, long time. I don't really enjoy the workouts but I like the way they make me feel and if I don't work out for a couple of days, I start to feel "off."

I go to the gym with a buddy 3-4 times a week, and I walk a mile or two most other mornings. Reboot Joe from Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead includes exercise in his program and I think the videos at this site are well worth considering if you're wanting to add more exercise to your life. Enjoy!
